There are still a lot of creations running around. As an example, look at what happened in Dover, Penn. pedia.org/wiki/Kitzmiller_v._Dover_Area_School_District Also, many on the right refuse to accept the risk of global warming issues, calling the virtually 100% recognition of the problem by scientists "controversial". This is the kind of nonsense that's becoming popular these days. In the past, it was done by the church (and still is), now the right wing politicians. What's worse is the fundamentalists who welcome the coming climate problems as part of the Armageddon. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Segmentation fault

Today after a big update, I was surprised with a segmentation fault after I started Software Management in Yast.

[opensuse] fontinfo of M17N:fonts
by pgajdos＠suse.cz 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Hi list, I would like to introduce fontinfo whose testing version currently runs on http://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/pgajdos/ Note that the contents was generated 2013-05-15, so not everything is in sync with current M17N:fonts, so things like 1-click install will not work for every font package. I will to appreciate any feedback. For example, do you think it is worth to expose it somewhere on opensuse.org? Thanks! Petr

[opensuse] changing rtf document text size in libreoffice
by Istvan Gabor 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

Hello: I have an rtf (rich text format) document. If I open it with OOorg 3.1 or LO 3.4 the normal text font size is 10pt, and the sub/superscript font size is 8pt. I would like to increase normal font size to 12 and sub/superscript font size to 9 or 10. If I select the text and change the font size it changes all fonts without respecting sub/superscript's smaller sizes. I tried to change the text's style but it seems it is not possible to set normal and sub/superscript fonts for one style. Is it not possible to make this conversion in LO/OOo? To set again all sub/superscripts manually one by one would be really tedious.

[opensuse] LUKS-key entry
by Hans Witvliet 24 Jun '13

24 Jun '13

Hi all, When using an encrypted volume-group, the key is asked during the power-up sequence. I noticed that, when using lxde, you get the graphical boot splash, fall back to non-graphics-mode, the key is asked, and when supplied you get back to graphics mode. afaicr it is possible the obtain the luks-key while still in graphical mode. But i haven't got a clue which package is responsible for this. Any suggestion? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I also had an incompatible chromium-ffmpg package installed. I was using Chromium 27.0.1425, but somehow managed to updated to a 29.something of the ffmpg package. The fix for me (so far) has been to update all of Chromium to the 29.0.1541 build form network:chromium. Tested, and so far on all pages it was crashing, it's working now. Thanks for the hint!!
